Kennedy Center Legal Battle Over Trump Name | Philadelphia News

The Kennedy Center is delaying its plan to reinstate President Trump’s name on its facade until at least Labor Day, amid a fresh legal battle over the performing arts venue’s future. A federal judge previously ruled the name was illegally installed and ordered its removal, but board members—some reportedly supportive of Trump—pushed forward with a resolution to rename the plaza and add his name back, contingent on a $100 million fund. The center claims it’s waiting for legal proceedings to conclude, while Democratic lawmakers’ lawyers argue the board is rushing to circumvent the court order. The controversy erupted during a board meeting where renovations were discussed—and Trump’s name was resurrected. The center also hasn’t committed to removing the tarp covering the former signage, citing ongoing roof repairs. Critics question the legitimacy of documents presented to the board, which were created before the judge’s ruling.
